2) The establishment of correct mutual relations between industrial enterprises, associations and economic organs, on the one hand, with budget and supply organs, on the other, is a fundamental question for the success or failure of state industry. The State, being the complete owner of enterprises and all production, must rely upon enterprises and associations that are empowered in the sphere of production within the limits of approved programs and possess considerable rights in the matter of realizing their own products, depending upon the scale of state supply. Rigid formalism — *Is there already a resolution (look it up, V. 1921!) on increasing the autonomy of "large enterprises"?* — does not encourage and develop the initiative and autonomy of the leaders of state industry. *The text of § 2 is too general and empty.* And § 3 is too general and *empty. In particular, the question of the sale of property by lessees. NB In a certain proportion with the Centrosoyuz?*

3) The basic tasks facing state industry are: an increase in production and a reduction of its cost price. These tasks can be resolved only under the condition of strictly economic management of enterprises, precise accounting of all elements of production, and rationalization of administration (merciless curtailment of bloated apparatuses, better remuneration of the remaining personnel, rejection of bureaucratic methods of work, etc.).
